Description
Well, it’s not a dinosaur, but it is a prehistoric animal. Here’s Dunkleosteus.Dunkleosteus was prehistoric fish from the late Devonian Period, and was here before the dinosaurs even set foot on Earth. It lived in the oceans near prehistoric United States, Germany, and Africa, and possibly hunted primitive fish, sharks, and cephalopods. It was also possibly 20ft in length and weighed roughly around 2,200 lbs.

The armor is under Dunkleosteus’ cartilage-like skin. Some scientists think that it had this sort of skin over it’s armor plated skull and lips (which I was just informed about recently that it probably had that) similar to that of a shark.
Here’s a few other artists that have made Dunkleosteus somewhat like this as well:

Hopefully, that answers your question.

Now that you mention it, I guess it does look like a Digimon eye.

Science suggests it had lips more like a shark so you could not see it's teeth, but hey this still looks really good.
